The

McLaren Senna

really moves. With its 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 789 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, it’s a fitting tribute for the legendary driver it’s named after. While it’s a road-legal car, it does have a race mode. But if that weren’t racy enough for you,

McLaren

has a gnarlier version on the way, as you can see from these

spy photos

. That car, the McLaren Senna GTR, will be too hot for public roads, though, and will be a track-only version of the car.

McLaren first envisioned the Senna GTR as a

concept car

, which

it trotted out

at the

Geneva Motor Show

last spring. The British automaker has said it only intends to build 75 examples, and each will cost around $1.4 million. That’ll buy the lucky owners at least 813 horsepower and 2,200 pounds of downforce. A lot of dramatic carbon fiber bodywork helps it perform that aerodynamic feat. As McLaren Automotive CEO Mike Flewitt has said, the GTR will offer “more power, more grip and more downforce … than the McLaren Senna and post even faster lap times.”

The prototype we see in the

spy shots

above looks incomplete, so expect to see more aero bits as development continues. It has a more aggressive stance, with wider fenders to match its wider track. We’ll be curious to hear more details from McLaren closer to the car’s production launch late next year, but seeing the Senna GTR hit the track is certainly a thing to behold.
